5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Lens

Use a soft, lint-free cloth or lens cleaning paper to gently wipe the projector lens. Do not use abrasive cleaners or excessive force, as this can scratch the lens.

5.3 Lamp Life

The LED lamp in your UC36 projector has an estimated life of 20,000 hours (minimum). This means the lamp is designed to last for a significant period under normal usage conditions and typically does not require replacement.
